We recently received more grassroots comics from APDH
(Association pour la Paix et les Droits de L’Homme), our partner organisation
in Ngozi, Burundi. The comics have been made in their
network of human right clubs.
They take up issues such as land problems, violence against women, right to education, communal harmony, etc.
Below three samples in Kirundi with English and French translations provided by René Claude Niyonkuru, Coordinator of the Comics Project.

“Indyane z'imigabwe” A man had strong negative feelings for his
political opponents. He thought they wanted him harm only. But paradoxically,
it was one of them who came to his aid when he fell into a ditch when chased by
a rabid dog.

Un homme voyait d’un
mauvais oeil ses opposant politiques. Il pensait qu’ils ne lui voulaient que du
mal. Mais paradoxalement, c’est l’un de ceux-là qui lui vint en aide
quant il tomba dans un fossé pourchassé par un chien enragé.
